TV

We've received the money from the US Embassy for our TV project and will soon start buying things to revamp the local station. I really think this will be great for the village - highlighting successes or celebrations, starting a beginner English show, and hopefully recruiting young people to volunteer there and begin a kind of film-maker's club. I'm excited to get this project under way.

Last night, while watching a little of the news from Moscow, I saw a curious thing: local advertising. This is the wine/grape season, and across the bottom of the screen I saw scrolling messages like, "Excellent grapes! Call Sergie 50-388 or mobile 0693 87999."
